A blank for a container comprises floor and roof panels A,I and four side wall panels B,C,D,E. In addition there are further flap panels F,G,H and a locking arrangement comprising a tongue J that cooperates with a slot K. The fold lines between the wall panels and the floor and roof panels are all curved so that when assembled the walls each take on a two-dimensioned concave shape while the roof and floor panels take on three-dimensioned convex shapes. The corners created between adjacent wall panels form acute angles. The number of wall panels can be from 3 to 8. The container may be made from more than one box blank (fig 2). The blank may be produced from any sheet material that can be readily creased and folded but is rigid enough to maintain its shape when formed. The containers are intended to provide increased protection to contents by the strength of the corners and the domed floor and roof panels. |
